Mother cat is pregnant and not eating much....is it morning sickness?

She mated around Memorial Day so that would make her around 2 weeks along. She's just been picking at her food the past week or so. Is this just morning sickness like people get? I want her to be eating well for herself and her kittens.

    Cats don't eat much when the are pregnant and it is normal. She will only eat when she wants to. But don't worry after she pops out those babies, she'll want to eat all the time and a couple times a day.

    Cats don't get morning sickness. If she is still eating, even though just a little, maybe she just isn't hungry. I'm sure if you leave food available to her, she will eat when she feels like it.

    Do you know the cat that bred her or was it a stray? Cats can carry STD's, so if your cat isn't acting right in the next day or two, take her to the vet ASAP.

    sometimes that is the case...if she does not eat anything in the next 24 to 48 hours then you should take her to the vet...if not she and the kittens could easily die of starvation

    Dogs and cats do not get morning sickness like women do. Call the veterinarian. She could possible have been exposed to some contagious disease at the time of mating.
